Combine High Resolution Artwork — Bug with JPGs?
Open Radar — rdar://problem/15612746
In this Demo Project there's a PNG and JPEG represenation of the same PDF file (added for reference) which are Combined into a single Tiff thanks to the Combine Artwork Resolution Artwork build setting.
It seems the Lempel-Ziv & Welch encoding isn't doing a great job with JPEGs, as the size of the resulting j-gruene.png file is as big as the size of the PNGs, which, obviously, defies the purpose of using a JPG.
